Sambazon Acaì For Your Health – by Bill Crimi

The first time I tasted Sambazon’s acaì (ah-sigh-ee) I became hooked; it was in the form of a smoothie at my families Juice Bar in New York City a few years ago. The deep purple berry, grown in the Amazon rainforest, combined with a little bit of pineapple, banana, ice and juice exploded into a burst of sensory delights upon my palate at the time.

Acaì has the taste of berry with a hint of cocoa, that is quite pleasant and unique. When hearing about the high levels of anti-oxidants acai contains, along with Omega fats, protein and dietary fiber, I knew it would be wise to add this fruit to my health regimen. Acaì contains more anti-oxidants than blueberries, or pomegranates which are touted as top choices for health and anti-aging protocols.

The Sambazon company is rightfully, credited with introducing this wonderful fruit to America. Sambazon’s two young, founders discovered acai a few short years ago while visiting Brazil. Introduced to the popularity of acai by local inhabitants, they soon learned of it’s great nutritional value, and decided to bring the benefits of acai, home to the United States. It wasn’t long after they began Sambazon, that I had my first taste of their product, and have been happy with it ever since.

My favorite way to use acai is to take a packet or two of Sambazon’s acai pulp, and mix it into a smoothie concoction of my own ingredients. I like it medium thick, so I never add ice…a little banana, strawberries, pineapple, mango and pure yogurt with a squirt of water or juice, brings my acai smoothie to the right consistency for me. The favorite time of the day for me to drink my acai, is in the morning soon after awakening. An acai breakfast feels clean, energizing and nourishing. It may be my imagination, but anytime I drink my acai, I feel an up-lifting, slow burning energy which lasts for hours…

Acaì is also popular in a bowl. Many people mix the pulp with a tiny amount of water or juice, a whole banana and sometimes some pineapple. They then mix it in an electric blender, scoop it into a bowl and add some granola. The bowl, is a popular way that Brazilian people I’ve met, prefer. They enjoy an acai bowl with sliced banana incorporated within it. Having met a large amount of people from Brazil at the juice bar in downtown Manhattan, I can assure you that, people of the Amazon ‘DO’ use acaì for it’s nutritional value…it is not just hype.

Sambazon has grown since the day I first discovered them. They now have acai offerings in a variety of forms, including their own bottled drinks, powders, capsules as well as their original, organic pulp packages. I was a Sambazon fan and user of acai long before I was a promoter of their products…people who know me, know that I do not endorse what I haven’t had personal experience with. Acai is a winner; so is Sambazon.

                                                           Try A Natural Remedy For Your Health Problems

 Natural Remedies: Alternative Options for Healing by Bill Crimi

Perhaps you have suffered from a physical ailment far too long, with little or no relief from conventiional medicines. If so, you may wish to consider a natural, alternative approach to symptom relief...or, possible cure. Of course the FDA does not permit claims by natural remedy hawkers, that their products 'cure'...but, that does not mean they are all bogus. Millions of people around the globe have choosen non-prescriptive alternative medicines, in place of modern day synthetic compounds, with fantastic results.

Most notably among healing circles, the proven natural remedies, are herbal (plant based) products. These products come directly from nature in whole form, or as derivatives. Most healing, herbal compounds are based upon sound science, as well as traditional folk knowledge passed along through generations, worldwide. As with any pitch to buy...take caution and read with a discerning eye. Do a little (or a lot) of research into the compounds you are considering spending your money on, and be auspicious when it comes to fantastic claims of miracle cures. Also, be leery of distributors of products that cost substancially more than average. Claims of higher potency, and purity are not necesarilly false...there does exist variations in quality and integrity throughout our consumer markets: alternative health product companies are not exceptions.

The above link from RagMag, to Native Remedies is a worthwhile starting point for you. The site contains an abundance of products, with an eneormous amount of consumer information. Give them a try, and who knows...you might not only find natural symtom relief, you may actually find a cure. Remember though, consider taking a multi-demensional approach to bettering your health by combining excersize, good eating habits, elimination of harmful habits and relaxation techniques.
